  • (Come up and be a kite)

    Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o
    My feet are heavy and I'm rooted in my wellios
    And I want to get away and go (I want to be, I want to be)
    From all these mirror windows
    I look at eye level, it isn't good enough
    And then I find it out, when I take a good look up
    There's a hole in the sky (there's a whole) with a big eyeball (there's a whole in the sky)
    Calling me

    Come up and be a kite
    And fly a diamond night
    A diamond kite, diamond kite
    A diamond kite, diamond kite
    Oh, what a diamond!

    A diamond kite, on a diamond flight
    Over the lights, under the moon
    Over the lights, under the moon
    Over the moon
    Over the moon

    Come up and be a kite

    I feel a rush along my body like a bullet
    I'm 2D, after a push and pull feeling
    And I want to get (I want to be, I want to be) back to safe home
    I love the homeland dome
    I got no limbs, I'm like a feather on the wind
    I'm not sure if I want to be up here at all
    And I'd like to be (I'd like to be, I'd like to be) back on the ground
    But I don't know how to get down

    Come up and be a kite
    And fly a diamond night
    A diamond kite, diamond kite
    A diamond kite, diamond kite
    Oh, what a diamond!

    A diamond kite, on a diamond flight
    Over the lights, under the moon
    Over the lights, under the moon
    Over the moon
    Over the moon

    Come up and be a kite
